FINRA BrokerCheck shows that securities broker John Richard Boatright (CRD#: 2545676, Duluth, Georgia) is involved in investor disputes. It appears that this securities broker worked for firms including JP Turner and Company (2015), Summit Brokerage Services (2015 to 2016), and Newbridge Securities Corporation (2016 to 2019). Notably, investors allege that Boatright committed sales practice violations which resulted in losses. Let’s take a brief look at these disclosures.
Evidently, a client of Newbridge Securities Corporation took aim at John Boatright’s stock trading. The April 2021 FINRA Arbitration Claim alleges negligence. It is possible that Newbridge Securities Corporation and the broker breached a fiduciary duty too. For this reason, the client demanded $300,000 in compensation to resolve this matter.
The BrokerCheck report for John Boatright also shows that a client of Summit Brokerage Services disputed his investment recommendations in a May 2018 dispute. The complaint specifically concerns allegations of unsuitable recommendations. Generally, suitability concerns things like a client’s risk tolerance, investment goals, and other important information. Apparently, the client demands $46,000 to resolve this matter. This matter is currently ongoing.
In August 2021, a client of JP Turner brought a dispute in which sales practice violations were alleged. Specifically, the client first alleged that John Boatright churned their account. Secondly, the securities broker supposedly caused the client to have high turnover and maintenance costs. The client received $50,000 from the securities firm to resolve the matter.
Moreover, a client of JP Turner Company disputed John Boatright’s sales practices involving options and stocks. Supposedly, Boatright misrepresented something in regard to the client’s stock and options transactions. Churning and negligence are also alleged in this dispute. Moreover, the client contended that there was a breach of fiduciary duty relating to stock and options trading. It appears that JP Turner opted to settle this matter through making a $42,500.00 payment to the client.
